Curious about #Wolbachia molecular tricks? Look for the guy in the guayabera shirt and come check my poster, HMB-Saturday-918, today at #ASMicrobe IU Bloomington GEMS Institute 🦠🧬

Some of the best #Microbiology research worldwide, but also lovely encounters with old and new friends at #ASMicrobe #Atlanta @val_deanda Pablo Vinuesa

Former mentee on her RS: "The most important lesson I was taught during Dr. López mentorship was that failed experiments are opportunities to develop a new way of thinking" Me: ...and to have a drink. Or two. Cheers!

In beautiful colonial Williamsburg for the American Society for Rickettsiology annual meeting. Will be talking about my favorite intracellular colonizer #Wolbachia pipientis 🦠🪰

Thank you to Beneficial Microbes Meeting organizers for allowing me to share my research with such a great audience! Photo credit: Chris Robinson

🚨The ECSO Lab at Purdue is looking for *two* PhD students and *one* postdoctoral researcher for the projects *“The energetic costs of new genes and cellular complexity”* and *“The physiology and metabolism of common and rare photosymbiotic associations.”* Please share 🙏

Some great talks in the first session, including this one from Sergio López-Madrigal ! Sierra Bedwell, MS had a good talk about the rhizobial symbiosis, and David VG is following up!

OK, what now? ⚖️⁉️

FYI 🦋

Abstract for the 12th #Wolbachia Conference submitted! ✅ So excited to meet you all in #Okinawa #Japan 🇯🇵

This must be why no bird breeds in winter 🤔🥶

I have extended the deadline until the 20th! Don't think twice - Join us in Helsinki!

The eloquence of empty lanes — hi wMelOctoless, long time no see! 🦠

The 2025 Midwest Microbial Pathogenesis Conference, hosted by Loyola University Chicago, will be held October 3-5. We have a website where you can find additional information and begin making your plans! mmpconference2025.com

Job Call: My lab is hiring for a new phase of studies on symbiotic microorganisms and their molecular mechanisms. Candidates with a strong interest in symbiosis, microbiomes, Drosophila, and genetics are well poised to love the work. Know anyone? psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Staf…
